Rookie file permissions question
- by Camran
What is the ending 'r' for and the leading 'd' for in file permissions on Linux?
Example:
drwxr-xr-x
I know about the user, group, others part, and I know w=write, r=read, x=execute.
But I don't know about the leading 'd' and the trailing 'r'.
Care to explain?
Thanks
